Get Your iPad Gear

email

If you plan to travel this summer, want to take your iPad with you and still need accessories from the Apple Store, you better get moving!  I’ve been looking for the iPad Camera Connection Kit since the iPad arrived the beginning of April and still can’t find it.  I didn’t pick it up fast enough that day and haven’t been lucky enough to find it in stock since then.

I’ve been looking back and forth between our local Apple retail store and the online store for a while now.  Shipping times online continue to increase and I simply can’t find it locally so, with summer vacation around the corner, I finally decided to just order the camera connection kit online.  I went to Apple’s online store yesterday morning, found the camera connection kit and placed my order.  At that time, my order showed a delivery time of 3-4 weeks.

I received an Order Acknowledgement email yesterday evening saying my item would ship on June 22nd and arrive on June 25th.  If my delivery date stays true, my camera connection kit will arrive one day shy of five weeks from the day I ordered.

Being curious, I checked out shipping times for a few more iPad products.  The Apple iPad Case also ships in 3-4 weeks, but the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock ships within 24 hours.

So the bottom line is, if you need gadgets for your summer trip, don’t delay and order now!

    Cristi-
    I ordered my iPad camera connection kit late last month and at that time it stated that the kit would ship 2 weeks from my order date. Surprisingly, my camera connection kit arrived within a week of my order date. It seems the ship dates are just extreme estimates and hopefully you receive yours sooner than later.

    The NEW Ingenuo iPad stand will give you the option to keep the iPad charged in three different positions slightly inclined -reading mode, landscape -video mode and portrait -writing mode.

    I too had been calling the Apple retail store’s hoping to avoid the 3-4 week wait to purchase one online, but after weeks of trying I caved and put my order in at the online Apple Store. I could have really used the thing already this summer, and would have ordered it sooner had I been more sure of it’s full functionality; Apple was very vague about it’s handling of RAW images, and it wasn’t until I saw a video review of it working with my same model camera that I was willing to order online.

    I picked up my camera kit about 3 weeks ago at my local Apple store. I’m glad I did, because I was going to put it off until later but now I also see that the local Apple stores don’t have it in stock. The nice thing about the USB one, is that you can actually get digital sound out of the iPad. This is great if you want pure digital for your music. Many for car installs like this feature.
